Mumbai Indians previously won the IPL in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2020. However, since 2020, the team has not tasted the trophy again. So after a long wait, they are entering the field in the new season with the aim of bringing home the title again. The fans are also hoping that this time the Mumbai team will regain its old strength and consistency.

Mumbai Indians performed well under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya last season. They reached the finals with a string of consecutive wins. But in the end, their dream of winning the title was dashed when they lost to Punjab Kings in the eliminator match. Forgetting that disappointment, Mumbai is ready to enter the competition with new enthusiasm.

A few important changes have also been made to the team ahead of the new season. South African veteran batsman Quinton de Kock has been included in the squad. West Indies all-rounder Sherfan Rutherford has also joined the team. Mumbai Indians are looking forward to IPL 2026 with the goal of greater success by building a strong team with new players.
